Place beef in hot pan and cook, turning once or twice until crusty brown outside but still quite rare inside, 4-5 minutes total. Remove to a plate and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours or as long as 2 days.

Using an oval biscuit cutter preferably with a crinkled edge make a total of 96 (2 1/4 inch) pastry ovals. Arrange half of them 1 inch apart on foil or parchment lined baking sheets and brush lightly with water. Using a small round biscuit cutter, remove a 3/4-1 inch circle from center of remaining pastry ovals. Gently place each hollow oval on top of moistened pastry. aligning edges to form a sandwich. cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled 30 minutes or as long as 2 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
